Under the guise of the Easterners, to talk about Iran in the eyes of Westerners (we have seen a lot)

The film that made me a little disappointed, um, maybe because I am a Chinese. The heroine of the film is no different from the works of the first batch of artists who went out in the early days of New China. I was lost in the pain and became a banana man. . However, I have to say that they are still the luckiest people of that era, but they are not talking about the so-called art, but they are constantly analyzing and digging out their wounds.
It’s a pity to say that this film still caters to the tastes of Westerners. Of course, this may be helpless. If you want to get attention there, you must use this story to gain attention. It has been more than 30 years, and it is still like this. Old routine. Full of inexplicable superficial or deliberately superficial understanding of war, human rights! The issue of the Islamic veil is also roughly linked to the liberation of women. Obviously, Iran is not a hell. Even if it was then, it is certainly not now, and even now it is. Then the people in hell are struggling and are not paid attention to. All I see is the exile of marginalized people. The so-called Iranian background that has experienced revolution and war does not make marjane in Vienna any different. At best, it is the story of an overseas student in a foreign country, and a lot of such people are caught in China! It is easy to understand why this film was banned by the Iranian authorities. The author is certainly not guilty of telling his own story and expressing his opinions, but unfortunately, he was accidentally packaged as a democracy fighter! Westerners like this kind of master.

    It is fear that makes us lose confidence, and we have to face it courageously.

    I thought it was a funny cartoon... It turned out to be a reality show with tears in laughter~ Without CG, I am also the best

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: You say that our scarfs and trousers are indecent and that we put on make up, etc. As an art student, I'm often in the studio. I need to move freely in order to draw. A longer scarf will hinder me. As for our trousers, you say they're too wide even though they hide our shape. Since these trousers are in fashion right now, I ask, is religion defending our physical integrity or is it simply opposed to fashion? You criticise us, yet our brothers all have different hair and clothes. Sometimes they wear clothing so tight, we can see their underwear. Why is it that me, as a woman, should their tight clothes have no effect on me, while they should be aroused by a shorter scarf?

  • Marjane's grandmother: So you're French, now?

    Marjane as a teenager: Nana, stop it.

    Marjane's grandmother: No no, I'm just asking, is all. I didn't know you were French.

    Marjane as a teenager: Do you think it's easy being Iranian here? The moment I say where I'm from, they look at me like I'm a savage. They think we're all bloodthirsty, violent, loud fanatics.

    Marjane's grandmother: Do you think that's any reason to deny your roots? Do you remember what I told you? Be true to yourself.
